Examples

Example-1: This data model creates a Data and Time policy named ntp_policy_simple. This creates a simple policy with two NTP servers defined. This configuration sets one of the NTP servers as the preferred time server (preferred: true).

apic:
  fabric_policies:
    pod_policies:
      date_time_policies:
        - name: ntp_policy_simple
          ntp_servers:
            - hostname_ip: 10.0.0.100
              preferred: true
            - hostname_ip: 20.0.0.200
              preferred: false

Example-2: This data model creates a Data and Time policy named ntp_policy_with_auth. This creates a policy with two NTP servers defined where NTP Authentication is used. This configuration sets one of the NTP servers as the preferred time server (preferred: true) and uses the out-of-band management network for the NTP traffic (mgmt_epg: oob). The NTP servers use the value for the auth_key_id key to associate it the NTP server with the id of the NTP key listed in the ntp_keys section. If the key includes special characters it is recommended to enclose the key in single quotes ''.
